New for 2011, HOMME was created by Pierre Negrin of Firmenich and is a composition of citrus, blended with ginger and Szechuan pepper. Thus, it’s an easy fit for the woodsy-spicy category of men’s cologne’s.

The base is mahogany, patchouli and musk. If you’re a fan of David Beckham’s INTENSE Instinct, then this is for you.

Delish.

L’Occitane – Delice des Fleurs Rose & Violette

I was so excited about L’Occitane’s Delice des Fleurs when it came out.

Like super, super, super excited.

Why?

Because L’Occitane mixes my absolute two favourite floral scents into one delicious bottle: rose and violet.

Sweetly seductive and kissed by sunshine, this uniquely crisp scent is destined to be a cult classic. ”

This is absolutely a fantastic gift for the working woman or young professional.

It’s small, purse-friendly and long-lasting.

Vanilla Grapefruit is very sweet.

At first roll, there is a strong hint of grapefruit, but it eventually dries into a creamy, luxurious vanilla scent.

Plus, it’s pink and comes in these beautiful floral bottles.

Love.

KEDS for Opening Ceremony

America’s favourite shoe brand, Keds, has been around for roughly a century and with their first-ever garment collection, they decided to launch it in co-op with high-end hipster store, Opening Ceremony.

The debut resort line has about 85 pieces and can be found in-stores or on the Opening Ceremony website. The great thing about this entire collection is that the price point is $40-$400, so there is something for everyone within it’s folds.

The resort collection has everything from an adorable Peter Pan collar romper to floral pedal pushers to colour-blocked tees and bright red skirts.

You can design your cards with multiple images, choose your own quality of paper, type of inserts (mine were stripes) and types of envelop.

This is definitely one of the most user-friendly websites I’ve encountered for on-demand custom printing.

So much so, that should you so choose to connect MyPublisher to your Facebook account, you can pull images from your Facebook for your custom printing.

One of the things I really enjoyed about the entire process of making my own holiday cards (besides quick shipping) was that it was extremely customizable.

I was able to choose from a wide variety of fonts, insert as many images as I wanted (depending on the theme), pick out different colours and adjust the look and feel of the card to fit my exact tastes.

That’s something that you don’t often find within a lot of on-demand printing.

Happy

New

Year!
